Poem: That Sunny Place

"That Sunny Place"

The car speeds down the road
-that was gray
Sunshine glistening through the air
The sky--pale-blue--flawless and still.
The glass is clear and it reflects
Scenes flashes by outside
Lasting
-but a moment
-there--it's gone.
Palm trees and orange groves
Structures of glass and steel
-serene
-erect
-alien.
Cars passed by, humming
Trailing light like a shooting star
Blinding
-just a moment
-there--it's gone.

It's Other
It's here.
It is what people calls it.
It is what people makes it.

The car speeds down the road.
